The Crow-cratic City

I have been monitoring this since last 5-6 days... Every evening, around 6.10, 6.15 starts the clamor of crows, yelling their throats out at its threshold. Irritated by their screeching and squealing, I opened my gallery. And there I go astonished to discover that there is an abnormal accumulation of crows here in parel! More precisely- in fronta my flat !

Certainly something was methodical with the way they assembled. There was a sync in their conduct. There were three places where these 100-120 Crows were strewn. One group of 35-40 in my front-left.. Another of 30-35 in my front-right.. and third one on top of my building, should be around 30, which for obvious reasons I couldn’t capture.

TO MY FRONT LEFT

 

And TO MY FRONT RIGHT-

A cluster would fly from one place to another, yelling like idiots!! They would move in random demeanor pretending, to us humans, to be REALLY conscious of what they’re doing, hehe... It seemed to me very amusing, for One- How do they know WHO flew from where, ALL LOOK THE SAME !! :D hehe.. Secondly, even if there was any tactic to single each one out (which, ob, only those black bodies would understand) Why do they scream out so loud as they fly!!!

Hehe, and I did try to get an algorithm of their system of mannerisms, but there was nothing of that sort sensed, by me atleast : ) But it gave me an impression of a sort of a play-school of crows where they would gather every eve from 6-7… Coz right around 7 they would start getting meager in number.

Crows are never described as ‘beautiful’ by poets and philosophers, for they are really not.. but a more impartial reason for establishing that can be that crows look uglier when viewed from bottom.. check out the bottom view if ever you get a better chance :P ( I do have pics but aren’t so clear to give you any idea, still an attempt)

A Citation- Although Mumbai is considered to be a city with, probably, maximum pollution but, observe the next time you visit Mumbai, trees in Mumbai are ubiquitous… and so are crows :D and chiefly in my area Bats, too, are markedly abundant in number. I have had a bad experience of bats, but I shall save it for another blog.. :D

For now,

Goodnight/day!!!
